Delphi AutomotiveWhat: Fourth-generation manifold air-pressure sensorInnovation: The first generation of Delphi's pressure sensor, the size of a computer mouse, required 28,900 square feet of manufacturing floor space. Today's fourth generation is the size of a small tooth and requires 6,269 square feet of space. Delphi can now produce more accurate custom sensors on a single assembly line while lowering warranty problems from 51 problem parts per million to less than 10 with this sensor.First customer: General Motors, various engine nameplates, 2007Web site:delphi.com

Valeo Lighting SystemsWhat: BiLED moduleInnovation: Two multichip LEDs are used for the low beam, and a third is activated for the high beam. No mechanical movement, necessary in some xenon headlights, is needed to project the high beam. Because light-emitting diodes generate little heat, the module uses a lightweight plastic lens, adding flexibility for designers.First customer: Lincoln MKZ, 2012Web site:valeo.com/en

Delphi AutomotiveWhat: F2E distributed pump common rail systemInnovation: The system fits under the rocker cover and delivers common-rail diesel injection for Class 8 truck engines. The system operates at up to 3,000 bar, or 43,500 pounds per square inch, and can vary the number of injectors equipped with pumps.First customer: Volvo, 2013Web site:delphi.com

Visteon Corp.What: Reconfigurable instrument cluster with illuminated mechanical gauge ringsInnovation: The Visteon instrument cluster can show different displays for various brands, nameplates and trim levels using the same hardware. All circuitry is printed on a single board, cutting manufacturing costs and complexity. First customer: 2013 Lincoln MKZWeb site:visteon.com
